Diabetes and high blood pressure . . . .
Is there an association between diabetes and high blood pressure - or a known correlation? High blood pressure can be reduced by many drugs, including anti-hypertensive agents in the sub-group known as angiotensin type II receptor blockers. One drug in this sub-group is olmesartan, available as a generic

High ALT and GGT (rarely drink alcohol)
Hi, I've recently had my blood tests results back from my GP and I'm worried about the results fed back. My ALT and GGT were both elevated. ALT at 81 and GGT at 170. I'm a male aged 33 and generally in good health and with very little alcohol consumption (average around two pints of beer a month). This

Need a Opinion
I am suffering from Diabetic condition for last eight years. I was reasonably controlling the situation with Metformin 1000 mg 1 tab and Diamicron MR 60 mg 2 tabs / day until last year. Currently my HBA1C is not within the required range, it is increasing from around 7 to around 8.4 ( last year) Otherwise

Followup with the Rheumatologist
Result tests were conclusive for APS as well as a positive result for something called, "68 KD Antigen (HSP70)," which is probably the root cause of the Meniere's Syndrome and might be the cause for the high ANA (1:1240). I'm starting Plaquenil today (200mg BID). No blood thinners at this moment because

Switch from Warfarin to Rivaroxaban
Thanks for all the help in the past. I now have another question. I've had a four month check up at Liverpool and everything is good. I told Dr Todd that my hair was thinning and he asked me if I wanted to change from Warfarin to one of the new anticoagulants. I replied that I didn't fancy the strict

Fibroscan resuts
I have just had a fibroscan and the results are 5.5 on the fibroscan but 244 on the fatty liver past, which indicates stage1. As a pretty heavy drinker am sure this is down to alcohol Does anyone know what the appropriate action might be. I was already thinking to cut right down and have 3/4 days a week

Dehydrated and tired all the time...
Hi I've been living with cirrhosis for around two and half years now and at the moment seem stable, scoring 7 on child push so just inside criteria for transplant but no need just yet. But I'm constantly feeling dehydrated and even after a good night's sleep (or so I think) I wake up feeling completely

Oups..
Hello New and Old friends☀️ Looks like the bubbling gurgling has moved side!! 💧💧 I couldn't believe it when I was breathing last night and felt it in the bottom left lung instead of the right one! Has anyone got that before? Is it moving around or will it quit altogether?? Wishful thinking ✨..apprehending

Rivaroxaban ( Xarelto) -Dosage
I am a 73 year old male with well managed AF and a current CHADS score of 1 which presumably will rise to 2 when I reach 75. I have been taking Rivaroxaban 20 mg for some 6 months with no side effects except for some Haematospermia. In an effort to try to rid myself of this disconcerting side effect

Digital ulcers....sssss
I'm glad to see that research advocates taking a proactive, preventive approach to treating digital ulcers. Also, I note that calcium channel blockers and ACE inhibitors are not the best way to deal with the problem. I have found Sildenaflil a great help. See here - http://sclerodermauk.org/uncategorised

Slightly confused
Normal glucose values 2h post-prandial. Bedtime glucose level of 70-80 - but fasting level, next morning consistently ca. 104mg/100ml. I understand that there is this 'dawn' phenomenon but why isn't the 'system' kicking in here when it seems to work OK otherwise?

Alcoholic Fatty Liver
I started having right upper abdominal pain about 18 months ago. I have a history of binge drinking of about 10 years. Never drugs not even a Tylenol. In December of 2014 I had blood work done, ultrasound, HIDA scan and a stomach scope with everything coming back normal. So, like any logical person

Humidifier
Did you know you can make a humidifier to fight your winter colds with your slow-cooker? Just take your slow cooker into the bedroom, fill it with water and add either eucalyptus oil or a dollop of Vicks vaporub. Then, turn it on low with the lid off, and you will wake up breathing much easier.
